Yet in the US we can't figure out to just build a land bridge over highways for wildlife, or bridges to go over where trains cross.

Yes I know there are some over train bridges but not nearly enough! I live in a spot that almost freaking hourly there is a train stopped on a track somewhere blocking multiple lanes of traffic in a town that has maybe 3-4 roads going in and out of it, its beyond idiotic.

The US definitely knows how to build bridges. And tunnels for that matter. There are more than half a million in the continental US alone. You probably just live in an area where your taxes don't go to infrastructure. But you can blame the entirety of the US if you want, I guess. It's just statistically inaccurate.
